I don't understand why you think Waymo wouldn't be able to take the same approach.

They've already got the tech for urban and residential working in their taxi service. It would probably need some work to get it working for a semi truck, but the base technology is there. The only completely new thing would be getting it working for highway travel and it feels like they could take the same approach of starting with a few key arteries, geofencing those, only picking contracts that are in their geofenced area and scaling up from there.

I'm not an expert on this at all, but I'd be surprised if the 80/20 rule didn't apply to shipping corridors as well.
